IiirIcss article on Ibo Court IIouso question
In tlio followlne; manner:
"There Is only ono way, and only ono, In
which tlio desired end may bo attained and
that Is to let tlio matter of location bo of
secondary Importance. All resolve that wo
aro going to bayo a now Court llouse, no
matter where located. The rtgbt place to
put It can ho found afterwards, and perhaps
amicably, too."
No, Lehlghton Is not to ho hoodwinked
that way; at least not If wo known our
selves and wo think wo do. Every argu
ment Is In favor of thts plaro as a location
for tbo,now court house. Almost centrally
locatod, easy of Ingress and egress, with a
slto far enough away from the railroad to
prevent tho blowing and pulling of locomo
tives Interfering with court business. Con
trary to Bro. Itlnker tho matter of a loca'
tlon Is of tho very first and paramount Im
portance. Let our llyo citizens move in
this matter; mako it a personal considera
tion, roll up your slceves and get down to
work. Everybody should be Interested in
this mattor, everybody should mako it a
point to work In its fayor. No small con'

IT tEEMS TO 11K A GENEItAI, rjEELINd
that Switzerland has become too conveni
ent a place for dynamiters, Anarchists and
foreign malcontents generally. Germany
has complained bitterly. Growls on tho
samo subject hayo been heard In Russia.
And tho New York Mall & Express which
has a fluo forelen car says: Now wo hear
tho voice of Italy In tho same. vein. Slgnor
Crisp!, tho Italian Prime Minster, whilo re
gretting tlio conflict between Germany and
Switzerland, says that tho alms of tho po
litical refugees to-day aro quite different
from those of former years, and that the
nations have no choice but to ask tlio Swiss
Government to make more stringent rcgn
Iatlons. Dictation is always disagreeable
when it comes from ono government to an
other, all the more so when dictator hap
pens to bo the stronger. The Swiss may
not caru to chango ttclrlawsat tho bidding
of any foreign power; but it was for her
own interest that sho close her doors
against assassins, Anarchists and tho like.
TUEHE IS 1I011E TItUTir THAN TOETUT
In tho words of tho editor of tho Watson
eon Star when ho says: "Somo men try
advertising as tlio Indian tried feathers. lie
took ono feather, laid It on a board and
slept on it all night. In the morning he
remarked: "While man say feather heap
soft. While man fool." Some business
men. Invest fifty cents or a quarter In ad
vertising, and then because they do not at
once-ealize a great increase in business
thoy declars that advertising does not pay.
A man should not expect returns so dis
proportionate to his investment. Even a
little advertisement is doubtless worth all
it costs, hut a twenty-cent local cannot be
expected tp revolutionize buslnoss and turn
trade out of Its accustomed channel.
IN THE OliOAXS OP SIOXOl'OI.Y .Mil.
Francis U. Thurber Is quoted as saying:
"Combination tends to improve tho qual
ity, whilo competion tends to debase qual
ltv,"jind tho llecord objects thus: Obser
vation and experience show that nothing
could be further from tho truth than this
assertion. When manufacturers comblno
in a trust to produce a certain article at a
given priro there Is no Incentive to Improve
Us quality. To competition, on the other
hand, is due to the Improvement in the
quality as well as tho ohcapening of com
modities. Combination discouiages the
SDlrit of improvement, whilo competition
quickens invention as each producer en
deavors to out srip his rivals by Improve
ments in his methods and by putting upon
tlio market a better article.

BROADBRIM'S I Y. LETTER.
It Is over ten years ago since a very niys
torlous and apparently stupid old man
moved to Harlem and set his Immediate
neighbors gossiping as lo who ho was. He
was evidently poor, for his wife and h!ni'
Belf occupied a couple of rooms in a tene'
ment house, but the question among tho
neighbors was, "How did they live?" In
the expressive language of tho groccryman
at the corner, "Tho grey mare was the bet
ter horse," signifying that the old gent,
whoever he was, was not half as good a
man as his wife, and apparently ho was
not, .for ha was a quiet, retiring, dlffldont
sort of a person, whilo it was evident that
if tho grey mare, as tho grocery-man called
her, cyercpt left,t w6uld only be on an
exeeedlngly cold dav. Thero wero all sorts
of guesses as to what tio old man did for a
livlne, and it finally transpired that he was
an Inventor, but when people tried lo find
out what ho had Invented, ays, "thero was
the rub," and all they discovered was that
It was a mighty secret, which as Lord Dun
dreary says, "no follow could find out."
After a ttrdo visitors might occasionally bo
seen going In and out, and ono of them was
a gentleman of clerical appcaranco; at that
tlmo he was clean shaven and wore tho reg
ulation clerical dress, and white choker, and
was altogether as sanctimonious a looking
person as you would meet in a day's walk
This was tho celebrated Farson Howard
who figured so extensively in tho swindling
sugar trust conspiracy, and who this week
was sentenced nino years in the States
Prison for his share in that remarkable
ctlnio. Tho old gontlcman spoken of in tho
first part of this letter was Trofcssor Friend
the man who put up that gigantic sugar
swindle, which for daring audacity on the
ono band, and absolutely blind folly and
stupidity on tho other, finds no parallel in
our day except It bo in tho Keeley motor.
Uow long the schemo was working' in tho
professor's mind before he publicly attempt
ed to carry It out to a successful issue, no
body but his wife knows, but theio is no
doubt that soveral years elapsed between
tho conception of the swindle and its fruit
ion. Trofcssor Friend had tho Ideas, but
he could not work them out himself, and
although his wife was what Americans call
clever, that Is cunning and crafty, she
could not render him the assistance re'
quired, but at last tho man was found In
Parson Howard who had just the talents to
fit him for tho place. His pretentious piety
gave him a high social position in tho church
and his marked abilities as an oxhorter
mado him a valuable assistant at all church
meetings, in which ho always assumed,
wherever ho was, a foremost place. Up to
tho time that Professor Friend met Howard
ho was only a petty swindler playing for a
small stake, just enough to keep the wolf
from the door, but once in the hands of the
unscrupulous parson ho developed rapidly
tlll.thc day camo at last when ho wanted
tho earth and tho fullness thereof. As soon
as tlio connection was formed between Ho
ward and Friend, Howard began to circu
late among tho Wall street men, and by
mysterious hints, nods and winks ho gavo
certain parties understand that ho had a
friend who possessed a secret besldo which
the wonderful stone in the toad's head
which could chango brass or iron into gold
was no moro than a bit of glass. It was not
a pucstlon of millions, but hundreds of mil
Hons. How? Well, the professor had dis
covered a system of refining sugar different
from anything ever known in tho world be
fore, and ho could by his process rcfino a
ton for less money than any other voanu-
facturee could do it for a hundred pounds.
About hh there could be no mistake, for
the parson had personally seen the opera-
tlon and, moreover, he had two or three
small boxes of samples In his pockets, and
If thoy wero not experts themselves, they
could show them to those that were, and ho
was prepared to mako affidavit there was
ten times tho profit in there process that
thero was In any other known to tho world,
and of that he would glyo a written guar
antee. Patient, plodding, persistent work
told at last, as it always will, and finally
quite a number of men who bad loose capi
tal that they wanted to Invest, became ex
ceedingly anxious to get in on tho ground
floor. Tho more anxious they became the
moro Parson Howard held them off, until
at last lmprossed them with the fact that it
was a mighty favor to introduce them to
Professor Friend. At length a committee
of investigation was formed, for before they
put in any large amount of capital they
wanted to know something about the pro
cess, but the parson met tbem right on tho
threshold and said, "Gentleman, you might
as well understand at the start, our secret
is not for sale; wo will give you the results;
we will mako you all rich, but our secret
for the present we will not divulge." Then
every ono of tho committee brought a sam
pie of sugar that he wanted refined. The
professor took tho samples into his private
room while Parson Howard mounted guard
at tho door, and In less time than you could
say Jack, much less Robinson, the thing
was done; the dirty, crude stuff that the
committee had entrusted to his care a few
minutes before was turned out in beautiful
white, shinning crystals. Tho thing was
done, they unlocked their money boxes and
thoy neyer turned key on them again till
thoy had passed ont a million of dollars.
A factory was to be built, machinery was
to be bought and tho thousand and one
things dono to put the concern In working
order, .thousands. upon thousands of dol
lars answered their requisitions, and all tho
tImo4helr faith was kept alive by occasion
al boxes of beautifully crystalized sugar
made out of crude material which they
themselves had furnished. All went on
swimmingly till one bright morning about
a year and a half ago, when the professor
was discovered as dead as a door nail,
Then the trouble began and Mrs. Friend,
tho professor's wife, became with Parson
Howard tho legitimate heir and custodian
of her husband's secret. Tho stockholders
grew anxious to get the factory at work so
as to get somo dlyMens from tho hundreds
of thousands they had invested. At last
they grew clamorous and tho law was in
voked to aid them. Then the wbolo band
of swindlers fled to Michigan and settled
quietly down to the enjoyment of their ill-
gotten gains, but the were extradited from
that State and brought to Now York. Tho
fight has been a desperate one between the
swindlers on the one hand and the victims
on the other, The first trial closed this
week and Parson Howard goes up for nine
years. Tho trial disclosed the fact that tho
heavy boxes which were brought into tin
laboratory and were supposod to contain
machinery, were filled with the best refined
sugar, and that the crude sugar furnished
by the stock holders was run down the
waste pipe Into the sewer, and tons upon
tons were thus destrsyed. The trial of
Professor Friend's wife takes place shortly
and as the proofs are tho same as those
which convicted Tarson Howard there Is
no chauce for escape; and this reminds me
of a remark that I quoted the other day,
that New York was the "paradise of fools
and thieves.
When we closed our Washington Cen
tennial celebration over a month ago.
when tho ttoops retreated In good order
and all our country cousins went home, we
supposed the thing was done with, but wo
have just discovered that wo are in the
midst of a muddle In which some 8f ur
notable four hundred figure in rather an
unenviable light. When the Centennial
celebration becamo a certalnlty nobody
anticipated at tho time the gigantic pro
portions that It eventually assumed. It
was a peculiar affair, partially private and
partially public, but Its derection was all
In the hands of a self-constituted com
mittee of private citizens, who assumed
entire control, who Issued Invitations and
who decided who should come and who
should stay away, and who should dance
In the opening quadrille and who should
have the honor oMooking on, and of de
ciding all other Important matters con
nected with the Centennial, on which tho
fata and tbo welfare of tho Republic de
pended, lllio was equal to this gigantic
task? who could tell us how tho thing was
dbno in Patls, Vienna and Berlin? who
would keep us In tbo straight and narrow
path and keep us from putting our Re
publican foot In It beforo the nations of
the earth. Thero was but ono roan and
his name was Ward McAllister. Ho
know all about pcrcodcnccs, who should go
beforo and who should go behind, and
who shouldn't go at all. Ho knew all
about wines and pates and trouffles. In
short thero was nothing that he didn't
know that was desirable to know on such
an occasion, so It was evident that Ward
McAllister was t'uo man. IIo was called
to his Important post almost without a
dissenting voice, In fact everybody, mysolf
included, felt delighted that tbo minister
plenipotentiary and ambassador oxtraordin
ary of the elite four hundred should under
take tho somewhat plebeian job of guid
ing such a miscellaneous affair as the
Washington celebration, which would neces
sarily bring him In contact whlth very
many common persons with whom ho or
his kind had not been In tho habit of
associating. But like tho patriot that ho
is, Mr. -McAllister throw all these consider
ations to the winds and took took the oillco
of commander In chief, the stipulation be
ing that the committee was to furnish the
necessary money, which they promised to
do, and giving him a carlo blanche, they
said, "Uo ahead," and ho did. Thousands
and thousands of dollars wero expended,
and at last the committeo called for an
accounting. Tho yery Idea almost set Mr.
McAllister in a fit, and he snapped his
fingers In tho faces of' the committeo and
told them he would sco them in Jericho
first. Then Mr. Stuyvesant Fish, a very
eminent person In his own estimation, and
who Imagined that he could run tho Cen
tennial better than .McAllister, made a
motion that Afr. McAllister, bo bounced,
and bounced he was on tho spot. Then
Mr. Fish was promoted to the vacant
placo and began to handle the cash. In
one way and another he got away with a
hundred and twenty thousand dollars, and
now the committee want to know what he
did with It, but as yet Mr. Fish has not
giyen them the slightest satisfaction, but
demands ten thousand dollars for the in
formation. Now, nobody supposes that
Mr. Fish bagged any of tho money for his
own private purposes, but the funuy
points is that Mr. Fish Is now doing the
very same thing for which he got Mr. .Mc
Allister bounced. Tbo ten thousand dol
lars that ho asks for is tho money the com
mittee got from the sale of ball tickets.
This Mr. Fish demands to pay his bills,
and tho committeo say If he will furnish
the bills they will pay them, and so tho
matter stands. Those who rebelled against
tbo rule of tho king of the four hundred
aro all broken up and Ward McAllister
lays back In his chair and roars as he rubs
his bands, "Ha, ha, me boy; ha, ha, I told
ye so."
Several prominent churches were closed
for tho season last Sunday, and in one
week more than two-thirds or three-
fourths of the pastors will bo gone from
Now York and Brooklyn. Several church
es, however, havo concluded to maintain a
summer services for tho benefit of sinners
like myself who aro tired to tho stake and
cannot get awap. The plan Is a good one,
It gives young country minister a chanco
for a metropolitan hearing, and as few
churches would think of offering the supply
minister less than twenty-five dollars and
his expenses, financially It is not a bad
thing. During tho week we have had all
sorts of weather, thunder, lightning, rain
hall, heat, cold, a rich, variety from which
a Bengal tiger or a Polar bear might take
his choice.
Thero have been soveral spasmodic
rushes at tho stock market all the week,
but the outside public did not bite, Henry
Villard being about tho only man who has
saved his financial bacon. Hsnry S, lyes
and his partner Styner still linger in Lud
low street jail a warning to all young
Napoleons, and the autumn leayes will fall
beforo they either reach States Prison or
escape It.

""TX THAT is meant by ' free alkali,' Doctor? I see it mentioned
V V n tlle advertisements of Ivory Soap."
'"Free Alkali,' Madam, is the alkali which is not combined
with the fats or oils of which the soap is made, due to the ignorance
or carelessness of the soap maker. Soaps in which ' free alkali ' is
present are decidedly injurious to both the clothing and the skin
when habitually used. I have seen reports of analysis made of the
Ivory Soap by men eminent in our profession, and all prpnounce it
to contain no ' free alkali, ' to be made with great care and of ma
terials of the best quality, carefully selected, so I unhesitatingly rec
ommend it for every purpose about the house for which good soap
is required."
A WORD OF WARNING.
There are many white soaps, each represented to be "Just as good as the ' Ivory ' j "
they ARE NOT. but like all counterfeits, lack tho peculiar and remarkable qualities of
the genuine. Ask "Ivory" Soap and insist upon getting it.
